Jane Walentas, wife of DUMBO real estate mega developer, David Walentas, purchased a
1922 carousel at an auction in 1984. After years of restoration
work on the 48 carved horses, the carousel was  unveiled
during the DUMBO Festival this past weekend (pictured at left).

It wasn’t open for the public to take rides. That’s all I know because I can’t get onto Gowanus Lounge today — there seems to be a technical glitch over there and I’m thinking it’s connected to all the video he’s got.

I found this picture at FLICKR

Robert, what’s up at Gowanus Lounge? Anyone know more about the carousel?
